Fall at Five. Two. One.


Five. Two. One.
Welcome to our home! Well, things at the Scheidegger household are pretty much settled and it's time to begin the tour photo style. Today we will start with the downstairs minus the kitchen and we will work our way upstairs later this week!

Come and enter . . . My new friend Hannah made us this beautiful wreath for our front door! Isn't it pretty?!
Downstairs there is a little half bath, first stop on the tour.

Now let's head on into the living room, these french door swing like saloon doors! Ha!
I am still working on the arrangement above the couch going to add a clock and hopefully some little shelves.
You can't tell from this photo but the window are really long and tall, we bought curtains that were to short at first! My aunt gave us that pretty platter on the coffee table!
My sweet mom and Don gave us this beautiful rug as a housewarming gift!

Now onto the dining room which is still in progress!
Here is a pic of my fall table decor (Mom wanted to see) made from twigs in the backyard as seen in Southern Living.

There is a little built in bookshelf . . . it's decorated for fall! Those silver and while mugs were a gift in our welcome basket from the church!
Now that I am decorated, it's time to finish this painting which will hang on the opposite wall in the dining room.
Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back with the rest of the house soon!

Casa De Penn

We officially have a place to hang out hats in Pennsylvania. Wow . . . that is both a very good and weird statement at the same time. Good that the the Lord has provided and amazing place and weird that it's so official.

I am truly so thankful for our new home. It is more that we could have asked for. In my feeble mind I can wrestle with only seeing what is in front of me. I can wrestle with having faith that the Lord is going to provide. In this instance of looking for a home, I think that if there is not a viable option for a place to live then I need to work and work until there is something. Exhausting!!! That is: it is all up to me and all in my own power. Through this moving process, I have learned that I do this so much. To much in fact. That I often try and take things into my own power.

Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us". This means that in of myself I am truly able to accomplish very little, but when we give our lives and our wills over to him he can truly give us an abundance.

I feel so thankful that I got to see this scripture come to life over the last few weeks. I wrestled with continually trying to carry the load of moving all on my own shoulders, but God's plans were to provide the place we would ultimately live through His people and not through my might. It was through a pastor up at the church that we are going to that we located this place. That's just like God . . . using his people to accomplish his tasks for his people. I am filled with thankfulness.
So here are a few pics it is a Duplex! We will post more when we are there!
